Sayre

The small town of Sayre has many of the qualities of the small towns on the route:

A small railway station used by local businesses to transport their products across the USA. Often the equipment is antique, working but gradually decaying

An impressive and well maintained courthouse. Some places had old and new courthouses. The law has a prominent place here in city buildings

A very wide main street where cars can park bonnet pointing at the curb on both sides of the street still leaving room for about 4 lanes. The majority of ‘cars’ parked on the street are pick-up trucks (mostly white)

A secure looking brick-built ‘National Bank’ at the corner of a main downtown street

At least one antique store and often several thrift stores. Guns are available in the antique store. This one in Sayre appeared to have an unusual variation on a gun decorating the sidewalk

A local newspaper, often called ‘The County Record’

It reminds me of the old western films – a bank, the law, the train, guns, and newspapers.
